DEMONSTRATING FOR A FREE IRAN: According to the Iranian students, solidarity protests are being organized around the world for July 9th. In the US, these include one in New York from 11-2 at the Ralph Bunch Park and Dag Hammarskjold Plaza (47th and 1st Avenue); in Washington, one will begin at 10:00 am at the West Front of the Capitol (with the participation of several Senators and administration officials), two in L.A. (on July 8th at 5:30 pm, and July 9th at 5:00 pm, both times outside the Federal Building in Westwood).

Texas has several: in Austin, at 6 pm in front of the Capitol; in Dallas, at 5 pm on Tuesday in front of the Kennedy Memorial and Sunday the 13th at 5 pm at the Intercontinental Hotel; and in Houston at 5 pm on Sunday the 13th at the Hilton on Westheimer Road.

A solidarity protest in London is scheduled for 2:30-4:30 Wednesday in front of Number 10. (Other protests are scheduled in Bern, Brussels, Paris, Oslo, Rome, and the Hague- please email us if you'd like details. All of the times listed above are for the 9th if not otherwise noted.)

As the students write, "please bring your friend(s) along." Do.

Here's where the Left and the liberals can put their money where their mouths are. A group of people in Iran are rising up for their freedom, and they're looking for support. Let's see if any of the millions who marched the streets to destroy Bush will show up. I have yet to see A.N.S.W.E.R. or any of their ilk even mention Iran.

If a single prominent person who marched in the worldwide anti-war parades shows up for one of these protests in support of Iranians, I'd love to hear about it here on this board. Pictures would be nice, too.

Just one person. Hollywood stars? Prominent academics? You listening?

I know they're out there...I've met many liberals with real principles, and not just myrmidons of the Left. It would show everyone that there are liberals who stand on those principles and have concerns for human rights and freedoms, and not just for left-wing politics.

And let's see the worldwide liberal media cover these protests. Show Iranians they're not alone. We'll see what happens.
